Beautiful. I am looking forward to the necklaces I am building into thin silk for a silk knot bracelet or silk knot necklace that I may have to keep because they are so pretty. I am loving the Hessonite so much. I especially love the faceted 4mm coin or 2-3 mm rondell cuts-more feminine selection for my silk and stone collections. I am going to have to pull a few from the strand to loop onto a hammered stick or loop as well because these beauties are so pretty~I want to wrap them onto many pieces of jewelry I am making! My only negative is, these stones do shatter in a way that is concerning. Garnets are typically strong to shatter so maybe cleave points are in more tiny hessonite stones? My solution is to make sure each stone isn't a risk for shatter and let customers know these stones are natural and can shatter. PRETTY!
